This was a quick reading with good characters. Kinda reminds me another book of this type, brief adventures, simple but beautiful writing, school stories and a little town. Heart by Edmondo de Amicis, if you liked this, then read that book.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer - Jacqueline Kehl, Mark Twain (2000)
[Penguin Readers Beginner (Level 1)]
Genre: Fiction/ English Graded Readers/ Classics/ Adaptation
Pages: 27
Rating: 6.5/10
Theme: Intelligence/ Moral and Social Maturation
Opener:
“Tom Sawyer lived with his aunt because his mother and father were dead. Tom didn’t like going to school, and he didn’t like working. He liked playing and having adventures. One Friday, he didn’t go to school — he went to the river.”
Summary:
Tom, an orphan who lives with his Aunt Polly, is a playful boy. His close friend, Huck, hasn’t got a family, is homeless, and doesn’t go to school. Tom and Huck have several adventures together; they witness Injun Joe kill a doctor, clear Muff Potter’s name when he is accused of murder, and see Injun Joe find a lot of money. Tom and his friend, Becky, get lost for three days in a cave. While looking for their way out, Tom sees Injun Joe. Later, Tom and Huck go back to the cave and find the money Injun Joe had hidden there. Huck is adopted by Mrs. Douglas. Now, he has a home and goes to school, but he finds it hard to fit in and runs away. Tom, however, convinces him to return. Background
Final Review:
Have not read the actual novel, but I got the feeling that the story was complete in this adaptation. Of course, many things need to be left out in any adaptation and I’m sure that is the case here too, but as it is, I believed it to be a competent adaptation and an enjoyable read.

This story teaches to remain optimistic in all difficult situations: be ready to rescue, be able to enjoy ordinary things. And it's a good story to increase your no very high level of English
